Child Abuse & Neglect

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN THE WAY YOU SEE FIT

At SMITH & HAINE, we understand the difference between a simple mistake and child neglect, and the difference between appropriate discipline and abuse.

Even if you are not charged with a crime, you can be forced to defend against accusations of child abuse or neglect in Juvenile Dependency Court. SMITH & HAINE can provide the experienced representation you need to fight the Department of Children and Families in court, and to protect your right to raise your children in the way you see fit.
